wydeangle 28 Posted July 26, 2019 I do like the new layout. Alas, there doesn't seem to be any direct way to report a spammer, or to flag a spam post, such as this one: Dararmss directly. Or maybe that's by choice? Just askin' Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adamhanlon 0 Posted July 27, 2019 Thank you all for the spam reports. There is a setting in the board that allows members to add other members. We had this switched off, but by default with the upgrade, it was on. Hence a few spammers used this to add each other. I set this to off after the first "attack" but it seems to have switched itself back on... I have now added a lot of unobtainable requirements, which should stop this even if it activates itself again. I'll keep trying! Once it settles down, I might reactivate it so that existing members ("in good standing") can add people. I quite like the idea of this. What does everyone else think? I spent a reasonable amount of time trying to get Tapatalk to work yesterday, but have had to submit a support request to them. I will keep everyone posted and sorry for the inconvenience while I try and get this fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it would be worth letting members in "good standing" push Spammers into the sin bin once, as you say, the system settles down. There are a number of people who are really good at drawing the malign to the attention of Administrators. So worth a go at cutting out the middle man? Perhaps the system could be set up so that Administrators can review a decision, in slightly slower time, by a member to put someone into the sin bin? Member in "good standing"? 50 posts maybe?

TimG 62 Posted July 27, 2019 Tom I may have found another small gremlin: When you select Latest Activity and then look at a specific post, there is below the post to the right-hand side a very useful arrow allowing you to move to the next post. This always seems to disappear after reading the first post and moving to the second. It doesn't seem to appear on the second or subsequent post. It's a really useful feature too - well for me as a moderator anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troporobo 198 Posted July 28, 2019 Is there a way to show thread subjects rather than each individual post within threads when choosing Latest Activity? I liked this feature on the old version. The new version, which is much more visually appealing, requires a lot more scrolling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m going through latest posts now on my iPad and the right arrow definitely isn’t there. The left arrow, Go To Topic Listing, is there. Curious.

ChrisRoss 150 Posted July 28, 2019 Not exactly a bug, I notice there is now a facility to upload images to the forum which is nice and drag and drop works well, but it does strip EXIF data - you can get add-ons to firefox which read EXIF data(just right click to bring it up) which is super handy sometimes and EXIF also holds copyright data if you set it up. Be nice if you could throw a switch to keep EXIF 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barmaglot 74 Posted July 29, 2019 New user tchakatak was able to post a new thread, but when I replied to it, they were unable to reply back - but they can send private messages, so logon session doesn't seem to be the culprit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi all, To join our community, our registration process requires individuals to verify their email addresses and make a post on the forums, before being able to post a topic. User tchakatak has done the former but not the latter. However, I did pick up some weird changes in the permissions that meant that New Members could create topics in other forums etc. I have now shut that down. I have also made it so that New Members must post an introduction by adding a reply to the Member introductions thread in the Galley before being able to post elsewhere or create new topics. Thank you all again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

echo2600 10 Posted July 30, 2019 This isn’t necessarily a bug, but is an annoyance... on Safari, on my iPhone, when I revisit a thread that shows as having new content, I get sent to the beginning of said thread, as opposed to the first unread post (which the old site used to do)... Perhaps, I’ve something amiss in my settings... Though, I’m skeptical of that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
